Infinite Ingredient is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose mission is to actively support the mental and physical well-being of individuals working in the craft beverage industry through outreach, education, and access to resources.
Our goal for the launch campaign is to raise the capital necessary to provide access to strictly confidential Employee Assistance Program benefits for all 150,000* people working in the craft brewing industry (and their families) including but not limited to:
24/7/365 access to Master’s level counselors via telephone
Up to 5 counseling sessions with a Master’s level counselor (in person where available, virtual, or via telephone) per issue, including Family Conflict, Couples/Relationships, Substance Abuse, Anxiety, Depression, etc. with no annual limit on the number of issues addressed
Work/Life Resources including assistance with Adoption, Elder/Adult Care, Parenting, Child Care, Disability Support
Legal/Financial Resources including Divorce/Custody, Bankruptcy, Budgeting, Estate Planning/Wills, Personal Injury/Malpractice, Major Life Event Planning
Medical Advocacy Resources including Insurance Navigation, Doctor Referrals, Specialist Referrals, Care Transition, Discharge Planning, Adult Care Coach
Coaching Resources including Life Transitions, Work/Life Balance, Goal Setting, Improving Relationships, & more
Once capital is raised, focus will shift to spreading awareness of resource availability, and continued fundraising to ensure that resources continue to remain available beyond year one, eventually leading to the inclusion of international coverage & individuals working at craft cideries and craft distilleries.
Launch Campaign Financial Overview:
Launch Goal $1.2 Million
$900,000 Employee Assistance Program Cost (1 year of coverage with Sand Creek EAP)
$6.00 per person / per year X 150,000 employees
$.50 per person / per month
$100,000 for set-up/marketing resource availability/operation/one employee
$200,000 to roll into 2022 EAP cost/potential to go international & cover craft cidery and distillery employees
*Employee estimate based on average of 2018-2020 data from the Brewers Association (BA). Those 150,000 eligible employees would be employees working at any craft brewery in the United States that would qualify as a BA member (craft breweries whose annual output is no more than 6 million barrels per year). Membership with the BA or local/ state guild is not necessary to access resources, however, we hope to have the support of local/state guilds and the BA to help communicate resource availability once funded.
Every contribution helps get us closer to our goal of making mental health resources available to those working in the craft beer and craft beverage industry.
Thank you for donating, and sharing!
